    Adding smoke detectors to camera installation

    Really interesting, thanks for the info. Right now, I still have the option of running conduit for a wired system, or save that cost and use the rf option. With your experience, what modern equipment would you recommend me? Anyway, I have already spoken with the company that will make the...

    Adding smoke detectors to camera installation

    Hi everyone, I am planning the camera installation for a new building, I have already thought of the cameras, I will install 20 cameras of the dahua 5442 series per floor, one switch per floor and a computer with BI to control all of them. I have two doubts: Is it possible to add a second...

    A switch or multiple switches

    Nothing bought yet, we just poured the concrete for the first slab. If all goes well, the purchase of all the electronics will be at the end of January. But I want to go one step ahead and have everything studied before then. For the inverter I had looked for all-in-1 solutions. Inverter +...

    A switch or multiple switches

    Yes. Ok then I will check an small pass-through UPS, especially to filter the current, avoid voltage drops, and overvoltages. But just a small one because it's not really going to work like a UPS, at most only that 1-2 seconds.

    A switch or multiple switches

    My idea was to install an inverter with several batteries for power outages. But not only thinking about the cameras and switches, especially for the lighting. This inverter does not filter the current. It detects if there is a power cut and automatically activates the inverter with the...

    A switch or multiple switches

    Thank you for all the info. About the poe + switch, what would be your simplest recommendation? For an isolated network, is a managed switch with layer 3 necessary? About the SPD and grounding do you mean the power plugs of the switches. Or do you mean to use STP network cable ?

    A switch or multiple switches

    Thank you so much for your answer. The wifi network is for the clients. The ground floor of the building is a restaurant, with its respective kitchen, storehouses and office in the back. Then the first floor is a bar. There is a third network that I need to create, a network for the cash...

    A switch or multiple switches

    Ok cool. I didn´t buy the Blue Iris machine yet, but I think it will have just 1 network port, directly contected to one of the switches. This computer is going to be for 24/7 security only. Nothing more. No internet connection. What do you think ?

    A switch or multiple switches

    Sorry I did not understand very well, you mean connecting the 2 switches to each other, and only one of them to the central network? Wouldn't it be better for each switch to connect directly to the central network?

    A switch or multiple switches

    Yes, that's more or less the idea that I have, but I wanted to do it with physically different networks. For the cameras: -downstairs, in the office, the computer with blue iris, and a switch -upstairs another switch. For internet: -downstairs, the router, with a switch, connected to a wifi...

    A switch or multiple switches

    My idea is to leave enough junction boxes on most walls in case I want to add more cameras. That is, if in the future I want to add a new camera, I would only have to introduce a new conduit in that wall to reach the junction box, and from there I already have a conduit directly to the...

    A switch or multiple switches

    I like this idea. What do you think if the central network is the same switch for the ground floor. I mean, the network would simply be a switch in the office, using one gig port for the BI computer, another gig port for the switch upstairs, and the rest of the ports for the cameras on this...

    A switch or multiple switches

    Thanks for your answer, I also like more the idea of putting several switches, also because of the cables and the conduits. With one switch per floor, I would get 18 cables to the office, plus only one from the top floor. There is saving of cable and pipe. Otherwise I would get 36 cables to the...

This is a new installation in a new building, I will need 18 cameras on the ground floor, and 18 cameras on the first floor. Maybe there are more, but I just want to get an...

    New installation

    Hello everyone, I want to make the pre-installation for the security cameras in a new building. In our area, 3 methods are used for cable ducts: -embedded in the concrete of the ceiling -under the floor tiles -or later hidden in the plasterboard ceiling For the wiring of the...
